the tubes

We often call the same thing by different names (pronunciations):
Potatoe/ Potato,
Tomatoe / Tomato,
Internets / Tubes / Interwebs

I've gotten looks of puzzlement from people whenever I refer to the internet as "the tubes." So making an entry seemed like a good way of edumacating™ people. Keeping my audience in mind I figured, why have people read about the tubes, when a techno remix is just as effective?

I guess sometimes I forget that most people don't keep up with randomly amusing things that happen in congress - particularly when it came to Ted Stevens. While I'll miss his antics, I think I can live without them if it means he's out of congress (and in jail):
